How can I copy a screenshot for emailing?

I want to copy an image of the screen and include it in an emai. How can I do that?

My personal favorite is Command-Shift-4, which allows you to select a specific area of the screen to capture.  The result is a .png file saved on the desktop with "Screen Shot" in the file name.
There are other options you can use too (and which you can enable or disable) by going into System Preferences, choosing Keyboard and then the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and then the Screen Shots option on the left. On the right you should see four options:
Shift-Command-3: Save picture of screen as a file
Control-Shift-Command-3: Copy picture of screen to clipboard
Shift-Command-4: Save picture of selected area as a file (my personal favorite )
Control-Shift-Command-4: Copy picture of selected area as a file

    how can I see hidden characters for email passwords?

    You can't.  Under what circumstances are you hoping to see the characters?  When you type them in?  You do see each character as you type it in for a fraction of a second.  But you can't see the whole thing.

  • How can I copy a list of email address into a group folder in contacts?

    I have a list of all the email addresses of my tennis club members. How can I copy that into a group address. At the moment I have to find each one and drag it into the folder, but I am sure there must be an easier way. Does anyone know what that is?
    Loftyjs

    I'm glad you figured it out. I was thrown off by literally interpreting the term "list" I guess
    In truth, a "mailing list" of multiple recipients, when applied to a particular email message is nothing more than a "comma de-limited list" of the addresses. Some mail clients add < > on either end of the individual addresses
    [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],etc.
    <[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,etc.
    in the old days, we would just keep a text file an add to the end as needed.
    lists are commonly used as 'Mini-databases' in Adobe(Macromedia) Director, my everyday tool for years. A list of lists, then becomes a bigger database as does a list of a (list of lists), and so on
    Too much information, methinks

  • How can I copy and paste quoted emails from Apple Mail v4.5 into another application?

    Hi,
    Having just moved from Entourage to Apple Mail on an Exchange back-end, everything is running smoothly except for one thing - when I copy emails that include quotes from replies (i.e. those coloured vertical lines down the left of the message) and paste them into other applications (Word, TextEdit, etc.) these indentations are not preserved, and instead each line starts at the left margin. This makes following interleaved conversations in the pasted document very difficult. It's as though Mail allows me to copy the view onto the message, rather than the source of the message (I believe that Mail simply reinterprets the '>' quote indentations for presentation, but retains these in the stored message).
    How can I restore copying of quote indentation in Apple Mail for pasting in other documents?
    CT

    You will need Pages or a sjmilar word processing program for this, TextEdit doesn't appear to be capable. Using Pages:
    Open your message. From the 'View' Menu choose "Message>Raw Source'.
    Copy the body of the message.
    Paste into a Pages Word Processing blank template.
    Open Find, click 'Advanced'.
    Set 'Find' to '>' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to tab (select from the 'Insert' drop-down menu)
    Click 'Replace All'.
    Set 'Find' to '=20' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to a single space.
    Click 'Replace all'.
    Obviously this will lose the colours which identify the level of quotes but you will have the indentation.

  • How can I view a searched-for email that's part of a conversation?

    At work, we have an email account dedicated to the support emails that are sent out. They are automated and have the same title so they come up in the same conversation. And there's a lot (over 6000).
    When searching, say, by a username, there is only one email in this search result. The little number-with-the-arrow comes up, but it says only 1. The preview displays the correct email. So far, so good. I've found the email. It exists.
    BUT...
    The arrow cannot be clicked to drop-down the one email.
    The right-hand window does NOT display the search result email.
    The right-hand window with the full emails shows the most recent emails, starting at the newest, and only up to 100.
    Most emails do not fall within that 100 email range, and even looking through 100 still defeats the purpose of a search function.
    Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance!

    Go to Mail > Preferences > Viewing (tab on top) and uncheck "View Related Messages".

    How can I change the font in emails sent on my ipad or at least have the email retain the font that I copy & paste into it?

    There is no way that I know of within the native iPad email app. You might want to search the app store for a third party app that lets you change fonts if this is important.

  • How can I copy and paste a long page here without using email?

    How can I copy and paste a long page without using email?

    Thanks for replying. Actually I want to copy/paste a recipe from a website so I can keep the recipe. On p 39 it tells how to copy/paste, which I do a lot already, but it doesn't tell where to paste it so I can access or print it whenever I want. It's kind of a long recipe. Too long to type out. Any ideas for that?

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

    My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

    If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).  If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
    Thanks

    Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts.  you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • How can I copy or print all text highlights in Adobe Reader for Android?

    I read many tech books as pdfs. And highlight the parts I want to note.
    Since I am now reading them on an Android Tablet using Adobe Reader for Android, I need to find a way to move my highlights to a separate doc when I am done reading. I don't see instructions for this anywhere.
    How can I copy all text highlights at once from a document?

    Thanks.
    Kindle Reader will let me do that with Kindle books and docs that I buy from
    Amazon, but not with personal docs (such as pdfs) that I import, unfortunately.
    Is a VERY useful feature!
